Your Family Photographer in
Dubbo and Surrounds
My story of becoming a family photographer in Dubbo
I became interested in photography while I was in high school. I loved the dark room and how fascinating it was to see how an image appeared on a piece of paper.
I purchased my first SLR camera just before I had my son, nearly 10 years ago. I can't tell you exactly what made me purchase the camera or start my business, but I know I LOVED it.
I never believed that I could make a career out of photography, but it is becoming a full-time job for me now and I am absolutely loving it.
Why I do what I do?
I love photography because it allows me to capture the art behind every image, as well as the connection between families.
I remember my Pop always had a camera around his neck when I was growing up. He travelled a lot and took us with him to many different places. Now, looking back on those photos, I treasure them so much.
They are a reminder of the wonderful times we shared together.
I love to capture the art behind every image as well as the connection between families, so that you too can look back at your treasured moments.
“Don't be afraid to tell your story, your voice is important and your story is unique.”
I continue to learn through workshops and courses so that I can give you the best possible experience and memories to keep.
Photography has gotten me through some hard times in my life and. It is my outlet and my calling. I love that I can step away from life's craziness and get my creative juices flowing through the lens.
Everyone has a story and I love hearing about people's stories and capturing them. It makes my soul happy.
What People Are Saying
“So happy with our photos. Ris is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable. Ris was very patient with my big family and was happy to go with the flow of any poses we wanted. She produces high quality photos that I will treasure for a life time.”
— Alannah Comber“A picture tells a 1000 words - and that’s just what Ris does with her photos. She captures the moments of time that we don’t see ourselves. From the moment we arrived to the moment we received the photos, Ris captured us and who we are as a family. The atmosphere Ri creates - from the well thought location to the props, Ris’s photos always bring a tear to my eye with how natural and beautiful they are capturing the precious family moments that we take for granted. I highly recommend Unique Image Photograpy and will no doubt be back again!.”
— MJ Smith“Over the years since our daughter was born in 2018 we have come to know Ris as we book our Christmas photos with her each year. From our first session it was obvious she has a passion and skill for photography especially with the kids. Fast forward a few years and we have had a Maternity/Family shoot and a Newborn session as well as our annual Christmas sessions and all I can say is her work gets better and better each year. Easy to work with, flexible, excellent communication and quality photos at the end of it all. It's a pleasure sharing our family milestones with Unique Image Photography and I look forward to many more to come. Do yourself a favour and book your next session with her. You will not be disappointed!”
